Finished GoW recently and want to play more games centered around scandinavian mythology (or influenced by like Horizon Zero Dawn).
Already played Hellblade.
Scandinavian mythology games

Banner Saga trilogy is good.

Go on, name some games ?
I keep seeing it on steam but the early 2000s styled artwork is a bit off-putting (feels like it doesn't fit), is voice-acting/story good? Also is it true to the mythology or takes massive liberties like GoW ?
Liam Barnes
>is voice-acting/story good
Yeah.
It's inspired/influenced rather than an actual adaptation of the mythology.
Austin Miller
>Go on, name some games ?
It's easily one of the most common historical/cultural influences for games after medivial europe in general, japan, ww2, etc.

>Skyrim

Shit like Aztec, Khmer/India, etc have like less then 5 games each period, despite having way more potential/complexity
Mason Jones
Aztec period ok maybe, designated period....can't see it being anything even remotely interesting.
Is the gameplay much like Fire Emblem or a bit less dauntingly slow and grindy ?
Aaron Reyes
Odin's Sphere
Brothers
Aiden Johnson

There'd be plenty of churches in the bottom row if norcucks didn't keep burning them down.
John Edwards
when posting impressive mesoamerican structures, why post the pyramid of the moon rather than the pyramid of the sun?
left is the sun and right is the moon, and the sun is far larger
Logan Collins
Age of Mythology has a nordic faction with vikangz and shit
Jaxson Hall
Rune
Caleb Fisher
slave labors all
Sebastian Nguyen
The average game devs haven't figured out how to make messkins and poons interesting outside of stereotypes
Grayson Lopez
Max Payne

Play Aztez. Trust me, it's worth.
Andrew Barnes
because that photo does a better job of showing scale with the people on it.
also reminder that even though the pyramid of the sun and moon and a few other structures are all that's visibly exacvated today, Teotihuacan was fucking huge and it's urban core alone matched rome in expanse
Connor Miller
Epsulov released yesterday, it's like doom setting except the portal was opened into norse mythology or someshit. It's an indie horror game, it's ok
Liam Parker
Ashes of Ariandel (DLC) is definitely heavily inspired
Jason Long
Too Human is the best norse mythology game
Eli Cooper
Age of Mythology has a nordic faction and the campaign is pretty good
